Movie: Get Alpha Dog at the start

Chapter 776 Golden Phoenix

The emergence of Vientiane Plaza was like a sudden spark in the air filled with liquefied gas, which completely ignited the consumption enthusiasm of Shanghai residents.

Even Qin Hao did not expect that the fire in Vientiane Plaza would continue to burn for so long. According to his idea, the passenger flow of Vientiane Plaza would stabilize after a week. After all, people's salary levels are there, and even if they want to buy, the money in their pockets is limited.

But in fact, throughout April, the daily passenger flow of Vientiane Plaza was no less than 10,000 people, and flow control was required most of the time to ensure the normal operation of the mall.

The reason why MixC has such a sustained flow of customers is that in addition to local customers in Shanghai, many customers from the surrounding Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions come here to visit. These customers have money in their pockets, but there is no large shopping mall like MixC in their local area to stimulate their desire to buy.

This is the benefit of subverting the original business model. Once the siphon effect is formed, the profits generated are extremely lucrative.

As of closing time at 4 p.m. on April 30, Vientiane Plaza's monthly sales exceeded 1.5 million RMB. The moment Director Zhao saw the financial statements clearly, his eyes almost popped out. He counted three times in a row to make sure he was not mistaken. It was really 1.5 million.

"Mr. Qin, we have to hold a grand celebration banquet this time no matter what. You can't refuse again." Director Zhao grabbed Qin Hao's hand with an expression that said, "I won't let go unless you agree."

In fact, as early as the first day of sales at Vientiane Plaza, Director Zhao wanted to hold a celebration banquet, as these were all his political achievements. However, Qin Hao persuaded Director Zhao not to do so, saying that there were many problems that needed to be adjusted in the initial opening of the business, and that the best was yet to come.

Now, a month has passed and Vientiane Plaza is back on track, with sales exceeding 1.5 million yuan. There is no way to make excuses now.

"Well, everyone has worked hard for a month, it is indeed time to hold a celebration banquet to reward them."

Upon hearing that Qin Hao finally agreed, Director Zhao's mouth almost cracked with smile. His immediate superior, Director Wu, has been confirmed to be qualified for the position of deputy mayor. Now is a good opportunity for him to "advance". With the political achievements of Vientiane Plaza, how can other competitors compare with him?
The news that Qin Hao was going to hold a celebration banquet quickly spread in the Shanghai business circle. Anyone who was doing business would try every means to use their connections to get an invitation, as this was a good opportunity to make connections and seek business opportunities.

"Boss Qin, there is a Boss Tao who said he is your friend."

Before the receptionist could finish her words, Tao Tao interrupted her: "What friends? You better understand. Your boss and I are brothers who have grown up together."

Qin Hao heard Tao Tao's loud voice on the other end of the phone, so he said to the receptionist: "Please ask Mr. Tao to come to my office."

The receptionist quickly and respectfully led Tao Tao to the chairman's office.

"Go and do your work first."

"Okay, Mr. Qin."

Qin Hao waved at Tao Tao: "If you want to drink anything, take it from the refrigerator. How come you have time to come to my place today?"

Tao Tao didn't mean to be polite at all. He took out a bottle of Coca-Cola from the refrigerator, bit it open with his teeth, took a big gulp, then sat directly opposite Qin Hao and said listlessly.

"I'm not free every day. You and Po are both very busy people. When you call your cell phones, you're either out of town or busy. I had no choice but to come here to stop you."

Qin Hao pointed helplessly at the pile of documents on his desk: "You can see that there are indeed a lot of things waiting for me to deal with."

"How are Fangmei and Doudou doing lately?"

It would be fine if Fangmei wasn't mentioned. Taotao became even more depressed when she did. "Don't mention it. Fangmei is now completely focused on that boy. If I go back now, she won't even bother to look at me."

"Look at what you have accomplished. You're jealous of your own son?" Qin Hao scolded with a smile.

Tao Tao curled her lips and said, "Forget it. You are busy too, so I won't beat around the bush with you. I heard that you are going to hold a celebration banquet. Have you decided where to hold it?"

"Someone is asking you to intercede for me. Who is it?"

"Golden Phoenix."

Qin Hao glared at him and warned him, "Is there something wrong with you? I warn you, you have a family now. If you do anything to let Fang Mei down, don't blame me for not standing by your side."

"Oh, what are you thinking? Isn't Jin Fenghuang my client? She has the best business in Huanghe Road right now. She buys a lot of seafood from me every month. Why don't you ask me?"

Qin Hao said angrily: "You'd better not have anything to do with Jin Fenghuang. This woman is not that simple. You can't beat her."

Although I don't know whether Jin Fenghuang is together with Commander Cai now, but the fact that she can make an old man like Commander Cai have the illusion that she likes me shows how capable Jin Fenghuang is. Even Taotao would be fooled by her, right?
"What nonsense are you talking about? I haven't done anything to let Fangmei down." When Taotao said this, his eyes were obviously evasive. Without asking, one could tell that this boy must have been tempted by some worldly desire but he just didn't have the guts to do it.

"Okay, don't worry about it. I've already booked a celebration banquet with Jin Meilin's boss lady."

Seeing Tao Tao's depressed look, Qin Hao knew that this kid must have been bragging in front of Golden Phoenix.

"By the way, what has Po been busy with lately?"

Tao Tao said gloomily, "I'm still working on foreign trade orders. I heard there's an order for $8 million. I've been in Ningbo for half a month. If I count the days, I should be back soon."

With the relationship between Qin Hao and Liu Sen, and the guidance of the old wizard Uncle, Abao's foreign trade business is booming, and he is considered a big shot at No. 27 The Bund.

"When A-Bao comes back, let's find a chance to get together. It's been a while since we had a drink together."

Tao Tao immediately became excited about Qin Hao's suggestion: "Okay, I'll arrange it when the time comes."

"By the way, can you give me a few invitations to your celebration party?"

"Why do you want that? Lu Meilin knows our relationship and won't stop you."

"You've been so popular lately that many people have used their connections to ask me for invitations. It would be embarrassing if I didn't get one."

Qin Hao shook his head helplessly. Tao Tao was absolutely perfect as a brother, but he was too vain. He probably boasted about his relationship with Qin Hao in front of others a lot, otherwise he wouldn't be so bullied.

"These are the only ones left." Qin Hao opened the drawer and handed him the five remaining invitations.

Tao Tao finally showed joy on his face after taking it: "Okay, I know you are busy, I will go back first, and we will make an appointment when Abao comes back."

After saying that, he took the invitation and ran away.

"This brat." Qin Hao shook his head and continued to sign the documents.

On the other side, Tao Tao walked out of the office, stuffed the invitation into his briefcase, and walked towards Huanghe Road. However, not long after he entered Huanghe Road, he was stopped by someone.

"Hey, Boss Tao, where are you from?"

"Nothing, I went to talk to my good brother."

"Is it the one from Vientiane Plaza? Given the relationship between Boss Tao and President Qin, it shouldn't be difficult to get some invitations to the celebration banquet, right? Can you help me get a few too?"

Tao Tao said proudly, "No, no, why do I need an invitation? I can just call Ah Hao when the time comes."

"Boss Tao, you don't need it, but I do. Of course, I won't let Boss Tao work in vain. How about one thousand yuan per ticket?"

Tao Tao was unhappy when he heard this and spat on the ground: "Who do you think I am? Do you think I need your thousand dollars? You are crazy."

After saying that, he left angrily, leaving the middle-aged bald man standing there with a confused look on his face. Even if the deal failed, the friendship still existed, so why was he still so angry?
"Hey, Mr. Tao, where are you going? Why don't you come to our Jin Meilin and have a seat?" Jin Meilin's manager greeted Tao Tao from a distance.

Tao Tao waved at the other party: "Next time, I have something else to do."

When Jin Meilin's manager saw Taotao enter the Jin Fenghuang opposite, he immediately found Lu Meilin and whispered in her ear.

"Madam Boss, if the Golden Phoenix across the street uses Tao Tao's relationship with Mr. Qin to snatch the celebration banquet away, it will be very disadvantageous to us."

Lu Meilin exploded when she heard this: "If that bitch dares, I'll tear her apart!"

"Madam Boss, why don't you give Mr. Qin a call and ask?" the manager reminded.

Lu Meilin thought it made sense, so she called Qin Hao's mobile phone. After receiving Qin Hao's affirmative answer, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"I've always said that President Qin is a man of his word. That bitch's tricks may work on others, but a young talent like President Qin won't even look at her. Doing business still depends on strength. There's no point in using those messy tricks!"

The manager finally put his worries to rest after hearing this: "So, the relationship between Boss Tao and Boss Qin isn't as close as he says."

"Things are different now, you know? When they were not rich in the past, their relationship must have been good. But now, what is Mr. Qin's status? To put it bluntly, Taotao is just a stinky fish seller on Cobalt Ridge Road. If it weren't for Mr. Qin's face, why would these restaurants on Huanghe Road only purchase goods from him?" Lu Meilin curled her lips in disdain.

"That's true. There's a big gap between these two people, so they can't play together."

In the Golden Phoenix Hotel across the street, Golden Phoenix looked resentful that Tao Tao did not help her to organize a celebration banquet.

"You said you and Mr. Qin grew up together as the Bare Pants Brothers, and your relationship is so good, but you can't even do such a small thing."

Tao Tao was a little embarrassed, so she had to put on a smile and said, "Hao has already promised Lu Meilin. Hao is a trustworthy person, so I can't make things difficult for him."

"Hmph, last time I asked you to invite President Qin over for dinner, you just kept procrastinating. Now you have another excuse. I think his business has grown so big now that he doesn't take you seriously at all." Golden Phoenix said angrily.

"Stop talking nonsense, Ahao is not that kind of person at all. He just said that when Abao comes back, the three of us brothers will have a good reunion." Taotao couldn't save face and blurted out.

Upon hearing this, Jin Fenghuang's eyes lit up and her tone became gentler: "Then how about you have the dinner at Jin Fenghuang this time?"

"Well, Hao and his friends still prefer the small roadside restaurants."

Before Tao Tao could finish his words, Jin Fenghuang smiled charmingly, sat on the arm of the sofa next to Tao Tao, and leaned very close to him.

"Isn't my Golden Phoenix even as good as a roadside restaurant? You promised them twice and didn't do it. Are you going to disappoint them a third time?"

Taotao only felt an alluring fragrance going into his nose. From his angle, he happened to be looking at Cheng Feng from the side. His mouth instantly became dry and his heart was pounding.

"Okay then."

After achieving her goal, Jin Fenghuang cast a wink at Tao Tao: "Then I'll wait for your good news."

"Okay, wait for my good news."

When Tao Tao walked out of the Golden Phoenix in a daze, he finally woke up from his drunken dream and couldn't help but slap himself: "I told you to be a bad mouth."

Three days later, Qin Hao received a call from Tao Tao and learned the news that A Bao had returned.

"Okay, let's get together tonight, at the same small restaurant as last time."

Before Qin Hao finished speaking, Tao Tao hurriedly said, "That small restaurant is closed today. I'll go find a place and call you when I find one."

After hanging up the phone, Tao Tao let out a long sigh, then took out five hundred yuan from his pocket and handed it to the middle-aged couple who ran the small restaurant: "You can have a good rest today."

Although the middle-aged couple was a little puzzled, they could get free money and have a day off. Only a fool would refuse such a good thing.

"Remember, keep this to yourself, okay?"

"I know, I know."

It was six o'clock in the afternoon when Qin Hao received a call from Tao Tao. The other party did not say where he was exactly, but just asked him to go to Huanghe Road first.

When Qin Hao's Cadillac appeared on Huanghe Road, it immediately attracted a lot of people's attention. Some people even took advantage of the traffic jam to knock on the car window. Qin Hao just pretended not to see it and asked the driver Xiao Li to drive seriously.

It was not until he saw Tao Tao waving at him at the gate of Golden Phoenix that Qin Hao finally understood why this guy was acting so mysterious.

"You boy!"

In front of outsiders, Qin Hao still took Tao Tao's face into consideration. He didn't say anything. He punched him on the chest and walked into Golden Phoenix under the guidance of Manager Pan.

Lu Meilin on the opposite side was so angry when she saw this scene.

"This bitch, bitch!"

"Have you heard? Mr. Qin is having dinner at Golden Phoenix tonight. Let's go there quickly, or we won't be able to get a seat soon."

"How about we all get together and share the cost?"

"I'm sorry, Madam Boss. I'll come back to take care of your business later."

At one time, a large number of customers flocked to the Golden Phoenix, many of whom had even ordered dishes from other restaurants, but ended up not eating them.

These are basically representatives of manufacturers from Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai. Mixc Plaza is so popular right now. When products are put on the shelves of Mixc Plaza, regardless of how much they can sell, the brand value will be raised a lot. Just the brand promotion alone can save hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars. Who can resist such temptation?
